Chocolate Bubble Tea
Equipment
- 1 Saucepan or pot
- 1 shaker for the cocoa powder
Ingredients
- ¼ cup tapioca pearls boba
- 1 cup water for boiling the boba
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp chocolate syrup
- 1 cup brewed black tea, cooled
- 2 tbsp sugar
- ½ cup milk or a non-dairy alternative

Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a rolling boil. Add the tapioca pearls and cook according to the package instructions, usually around 15-20 minutes, until they are tender and fully cooked through.

- Fill a serving glass halfway with ice cubes. Add the sweetened boba pearls to the glass.
- Pour the chocolate tea mixture over the boba and ice.
- Add the milk to the glass and stir well to ensure everything is mixed thoroughly.
- Drizzle some additional chocolate syrup over the top for extra sweetness and a decorative touch.
- Serve the Chocolate Bubble Tea with a wide straw and enjoy the rich, creamy texture and the indulgent chocolate flavor.
